Hard Surface Extractors

High-Pressure Cleaning for Tile, Grout & Restrooms

Hard surface extractors from Grimeworks use high-pressure solution delivery and powerful vacuum recovery to lift dirt, grime, and moisture out of tile, grout, and other hard surfaces — restoring floors and fixtures in minutes rather than leaving them to air-dry after a mop. Where a standard mop and bucket just push soil around porous grout lines, a hard surface extractor drives solution deep into the surface and pulls it back out along with the dirt it loosened.

Our lineup here leans into two of the toughest jobs in commercial cleaning: deep tile and grout restoration, and touch-free restroom cleaning — covered by equipment from EDIC, Rotovac, and Sandia.

Why Hard Surface Extraction Beats Mopping

Restorative, Not Just Surface-Level — High-pressure water and vacuum recovery reach into porous grout lines and textured surfaces that a mop only skims across, lifting embedded dirt and grime rather than redistributing it.

Fast Dry Times — Because solution is immediately vacuumed back up rather than left to evaporate, floors and surfaces are ready for foot traffic in minutes instead of the time it takes a wet-mopped floor to air-dry.

Touch-Free Restroom Cleaning — Touch-free systems clean toilets, urinals, and restroom floors using high-pressure spray and vacuum recovery without an attendant ever having to manually scrub a contaminated surface.

Adjustable Pressure for Different Surfaces — Pressure settings in the 400-1200+ PSI range let you match cleaning intensity to the surface — lighter pressure for smooth tile, higher pressure for heavily soiled grout, concrete, or natural stone.

Touch-Free Restroom Cleaners

EDIC CR2 Touch-Free Restroom Cleaner (2700RC) — Eliminates manual scrubbing of toilets, urinals, and restroom floors, delivering a deep, hygienic clean that traditional mopping can't match through its high-pressure spray-and-recover system.

EDIC CR2 Jr. Touch-Free Restroom Cleaner (2000RC) — A more compact version of EDIC's touch-free restroom cleaning system, delivering the same core technology in a smaller footprint for tighter restroom spaces.

Sandia Dragon Restroom Cleaner — Delivers up to 1200 PSI of adjustable spray pressure to restore restrooms to a visibly clean state — porcelain bright, grout lines renewed, and stainless fixtures free of buildup — using a single 3-stage vacuum motor system.

Tile & Grout Cleaning Tools

Sandia Sniper 12 Gallon Hard Surface Turbo Brush Tool — A 1200 PSI system engineered for deep restoration of tile, grout, concrete, and natural stone, built for maximum cleaning performance on heavily soiled hard surfaces.

Rotovac 360i Tile and Grout Cleaning Brush Head (12TGHI) — A quick-change attachment that transforms the Rotovac 360i Rotary Jet Extractor into a dedicated tile and grout cleaning tool, extending the value of a machine you may already own for carpet extraction.

Choosing the Right Hard Surface Extraction Equipment

Restroom vs. General Hard Surface — If your primary need is restroom sanitation, a dedicated touch-free system like the EDIC CR2 or Sandia Dragon is purpose-built for that job. For broader tile, grout, and concrete restoration, the Sandia Sniper turbo brush system or a Rotovac tile and grout attachment is the better fit.

Pump Pressure (PSI) — Higher PSI systems (1200 PSI and above) handle heavier soil loads and more aggressive grout restoration; lower pressure settings protect more delicate or smooth tile surfaces.

Standalone System vs. Attachment — Some hard surface tools, like the Rotovac 360i brush head, are attachments that require a compatible extractor to operate — a cost-effective way to add hard surface capability if you already own the base machine. Others, like the EDIC CR2 and Sandia Dragon, are complete standalone systems

Vacuum Motor Configuration — Single 3-stage vacuum motors provide strong, reliable water recovery for consistent dry times across restroom and hard surface jobs.

Getting the Most from Your Hard Surface Extraction Equipment

Match Pressure to Surface Type — Running excessive PSI on delicate or polished tile can dull the finish over time; adjust pressure settings to the specific surface you're cleaning.

Clean Brush Heads and Nozzles Regularly — Mineral buildup and debris in spray nozzles reduce cleaning pressure and even coverage.

Flush Tanks After Each Use — Leftover solution left standing in tanks can lead to odor and reduce pump performance over time.

Inspect Hoses and Fittings — High-pressure systems depend on tight seals; a small leak can meaningfully reduce cleaning pressure at the nozzle.
